Unable to run clustered configuration described on the wiki page (EAP 6.2) (Modeshape 3.8)

Hi all,

I'm trying to get a clustered modeshape configuration working on EAP 6.2.  As a starting point, I've used the confluence page @ Configuring ModeShape in EAP - ModeShape 3 - Project Documentation Editor, clustering section.

After debugging the code, I've come to this conclusion:

First,

The wiki does not say you need a <transport> tag inside of your <cache-container> tag.  The jgroups stack and cluster name are specified in the <repository> tag of the modeshape subsystem config. 

AbstractCacheConfigurationService does not like that.  It requires a transport tag.

So, if I add a transport element to the cache-container, the cache is created successfully.  However, when ModeShape starts, it tries to reconnect to the channel, which doesn't work because the cache container itself is already connected by that point.

I thought about changing the code to NOT create a new channel and just use the existing one, but that worries me because infinispan could possibly be sending messages as well.  I assume modeshape is only supposed to do that.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Nick

Ah, nevermind.

I found the quickstarts over at https://github.com/ModeShape/quickstart/blob/modeshape-3.7.1.Final/modeshape-clustering/

I was originally specifying the same cluster name on the cache-container and the modeshape repository element tag.  I didn't realize that modeshape communicated with jgroups alongside infinispan.
